I DREAM OF FORESTS

I dream of forests,

of waking up

under broad trees

and canopied skies,

of feeling

the dank earth

warm,

with my body’s heat,

as I turn.

I long for connection,

to the ground,

to the sky.

I’ve lost my root,

my touch,

my way to be one

with the creatures,

and the leaves

and the trees.

I want to lie here,

immersed

and covered,

until my senses

flow again,

until I feel the ground,

and taste the air,

and be one part once more,

of the forest.

And of the earth.

I will wait

until I smell, again,

the ground

on which I walk,

until I feel, again,

the air I breathe,

until I love, again,

the sun, the dirt, the sky.
